    OMG you had a family truckster hope you got the works when you ordered it :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Yes it will because it goes over a gloss black base coat to bring out the illusion of the paint(y):sneaky:

    So now I'm unemployed again

    Did some work on Dales wrecker sorry no pics yet paint is drying

    Oh and Dale if you have a freightliner cabover I have the perfect idea to add to your truck fleet I got some real good parts

    That are not from the normal mods but will look so cool once added to a truck

    If your game for a custom cabover as it's to new for my era but will look killer in your era D

    You’ve seen the only cab over I have. I believe it is slated to head to Washington state at some point in the future to its new home. Now I do have an older Athearn conventional that will probably tag along. I’m sure you will find something to do with that.
